Optimal emotional functioning is key to psychological well-being, allowing people to respond appropriately to their changing environment (Kuppens & Verduyn, 2015). Therefore, it is perhaps unsurprising that several types of psychopathology are characterized by emotion dysregulation (Carpenter & Trull, 2013; Hofmann et al., 2012).
Western culture has become obsessed with happiness, while treating negative emotions like sadness, depression, or anxiety as pathological and nonnormative. These salient cultural norms communicate social expectations that people should feel “happy” and not “sad.” Previous research has shown that these “social expectancies” can increase feelings of sadness and reduce well-being.
